While You Were Gone
NEW DOCS
A young man reflects upon his volatile past while driving through the rain to a hospital, where an anxious and suspenseful night awaits him. Rain-dappled reflections in the street and overhead flourescents in the hospital highlight his raw recollections. As a boy, he desperately missed the love and attention of his father. As a man, he is equally desperate for answers. This latest film from Frida Kempff (Bathing Micky) briefly encapsulates the emotional evolution from adolescence to adulthood. Past, present, and future gradually intersect in a loving embrace. TD
